Table Array Formula:
=IF(ROWS(C$7:C22)>$C$2,"",INDEX(Tasks!B$3:B$2012,SMALL(IF(Tasks!$U$3:$AH$2012=$B$2,ROW(Tasks!$U$3:$AH$2012
)-ROW(Tasks!$U$3)+1),ROWS(C$7:C22))))

PROBLEM: I can only pull data that matches with 1 column of resources. I want to be able to have the data fill if the resource name is in any of the resource columns. For example if Ana is in the Resource 2 column for project 1 and resource 3 column for project 4, I want both entries to appear.
 

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Sort by date Sort by votes
Not saying Ill answer this but your example data suggests there will only be 4 Resources.
Is that true?

I would actually have 5 Resources. There should be a scroll bar that shows the rest of the data.
Thanks,
